Finally, there's an
advertisement in the 1934 Southern Planter for a product that is still
around today!
It's Bag Balm!
The advertisement reads, "A rapid healer - quick relief for caked
udder! Ointment protection and healing .liniment penetration. At the
first sign of trouble, apply Bag Balm, the double-action healer. Caked
Bag, inflammation and the many ills and injuries common to udders and
teats find effective relief and quick aid to healing - often between
milkings. Bag Balm is a clean, refined ointment that cannot taint milk,
compounded with an exclusive, penetrating oil that carries the medication
to the tender tissues. Keep it handy for all emergencies. Big 10-ounce
package 60¢ at stores!"
If you can find Bag Balm today, it's marvelous for your hands and
skin!
Another page begins, "Use horses for economical power. They live off
the farm. They restore soil fertility!"
"No sore shoulders for me," says Grover C. Bowen, Rt. 1, Hillsboro,
Texas. Mr. Bowen uses collar pads. Here's why. He says: "By always
keeping pads for my teams, I am assured of snug fitting collars and no
sore shoulders."
There's nothing that will slow up a horse or mule more quickly than a
sore shoulder. Galls and sore shoulders are caused by ill-fitting
collars. The Ta-Pat-Co brand horse collar pads shape themselves to the
horse's neck. They prevent rubbing and chafing. They absorb sweat. It's
good business to use Ta-Pat-Co Collar Pads.and the cleaner the pads, the
better. So, start out the season with a fresh pad. Better still, have
two for each animal and alternate them. They'll last longer and do more
good..
It's economy to buy good pads whether filled with regular stuffing or
genuine deer hair. Ta-Pat-Co Pads are made from excellent quality drill.
Stuffing is specially prepared. Hooks are fastened by wire staple and
felt washer attachment, a special Ta-Pat-Co development.
